Tomcat It's not an area where it's desirable to use a not very stable version.
It's in beta, but that doesn't mean the software is necessarily unstable. It'll probably be in 'beta' for another 5 to 10 years while they still add new APIs to the standard and such, maybe change a few of them. So the API isn't stable yet, sure. But it is usable.
Tomcat Paid. Hard to call cheap.
It was just an example of what a DAM is. Not a recommendation for one.
Tomcat They use GitHub themselves.
For code hosting, sure. That was never under debate.
Tomcat Well I assumed we were discussing the question from the thread title in a practical area.
Pretty sure that discussion ended in 2023.11.21.
I definitely can agree that it's a good idea to set up a home server running linux with a journaling file system. Then install gitaea or gitlab on it for code hosting too. But unlike a DAM git won't manage file metadata such as tags or copyright info per file. Also for backups you can use timeshift or the like along with all the caching the file systems journaling brings you. Don't forget to have pairs of identical drives and use software RAID 1 for data mirroring.
